The cpu market is changing. nobody is really sure where it is going.

Quote:

While the microprocessor market traditionally has been dominated by sales of Intel and AMD X86 products to the PC market, the year 2010 was marked by the rise of a new platform: the media tablet, led by Apple's iPad which employed a non-X86 device at its heart designed by Apple and manufactured by Samsung Electronics. IHS said it believes unit shipments of media tablets soared to 17.4 million in 2010, up from zero in 2009, with levels expected to grow to more than 240 million units in 2015. The year 2010 was a period of major transitions in the microprocessor market, with suppliers facing a raft of changes, ranging from the new competitive threat posed by media tablets to the robust post-recession recovery, to the technology revolution spurred by the rise of graphics-enabled microprocessors (GEMs),â said Matthew Wilkins, principal analyst of compute platforms for IHS. Meanwhile, PC microprocessor technology underwent a fundamental change in 2010, with GEMs becoming a major portion of total sales in 2010. GEMs represented more than one-third of total microprocessor shipments for notebook and desktop PCs alike in 2010. Both Intel and AMD announced GEM products targeting the mainstream notebook and desktop segments in 2010, as they raced with each other to keep on top of this new technology trend.

Curiously enough millions think that MS has any value for the real world.

convince only 10% of them buying an AmigaOS4 or at least an AROS system, than we are back in business again.

AmigaOS is small and can well be developed

It's a closed system from 90s with 50 active developers. Developing it to the point it would met requirements of any govt-related institution would mean destroying it. AmigaOS was never mend to be "high security" OS.

MS is too big, it's over for them

Amiga is over since 1994, I wish Amiga was as "over" as MS is.

Quote:

Well, the fans of Amiga better think of some good reasons

There is zero reason to pick up AmigaOS as EU-OS. There's no reason to have EU-OS at all.
